System and Methods for Optimizing Multiple Data Streams Throughput to Maximize Overall Throughput of a Backup Application

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the sending comprises: when the new write speed for any one of the computing devices is different from a current write speed for said any one of the computing devices, sending the new write speed to said any one of the computing devices; and when the new write speed for said any one of the computing devices is the same as the current write speed for said any one of the computing devices, either: sending the new write speed to said any one of the computing devices; sending a signal to said any one of the computing devices indicating the write speed for said any one of the computing devices is unchanged; or sending no notification regarding the new write speed.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein when the new write speed exceeds a maximum write speed of a particular computing device, the method further comprises modifying the new write speed to the maximum write speed.

7. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the instructions that cause the computing system to send comprises: when the new write speed for any one of the computing devices is different from a current write speed for said any one of the computing devices, sending the new write speed to said any one of the computing devices; and when the new write speed for said any one of the computing devices is the same as the current write speed for said any one of the computing devices, either: sending the new write speed to said any one of the computing devices; sending a signal to said any one of the computing devices indicating the write speed for said any one of the computing devices is unchanged; or sending no notification regarding the new write speed.

8. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein when the new write speed exceeds a maximum write speed of a particular computing device, the instructions further comprises instructions to modify the new write speed to the maximum write speed.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions for sending comprises: when the new write speed for any one of the computing devices is different from a current write speed for said any one of the computing devices, sending the new write speed to said any one of the computing devices; and when the new write speed for said any one of the computing devices is the same as the current write speed for said any one of the computing devices, either: sending the new write speed to said any one of the computing devices; sending a signal to said any one of the computing devices indicating the write speed is unchanged; or sending no notification regarding the new write speed.
